Each year, the Report on Government Services provides a national snapshot of how governments are supporting children, young people and families. Read together, the 2024–25 data reveals consistent patterns across child protection, disability and youth justice, patterns that have remained remarkably stable over time.
These are not abstract trends or technical performance issues; they describe how children and young people experience support, intervention and risk across multiple systems, often over many years.
The Centre’s summary of the Report on Government Services 2025 is now available for download. The report covers:
- Child Protection
- Youth Justice
- Services for people with disability
- Housing and homelessness
- Health
- Early childhood education and care
